Seriously, WTF is Wrong With These Two

photo from people.com

I think I should start a I hate heidi & spencer blog. Their combined stupidity... I can't take it.

Jer-Ne

Last night I went to Jer-ne for a celebratory cocktail and some apps. They have an all new bar menu, which is awesome. Note: if you are on a diet don't go. There is no holding back. I tried sea salt potato wedges, sliders (unbelievably good) and artichoke pizza. Cocktail of choice: Blackberry Margarita (ha: just rembered that the bartender told me it was Kate Hudson's favorite cocktail - love name droppers).
Everyone should definitely check it out.

Two of my favorite things...

People Surprise me Everyday

This week was supposed to be really great for me. Finishing up school, my bday and fun events with friends all weekend. I have been counting down to this week for months. It surprises me that someone who supposedly cares so much about me could ruin the whole week for me. I didn't really expect it. When will I learn?

Tattoos

I love tattoos... it is kind of a funny thing that no expects about me, but I have a few and I still want a few more. I also want to get rid of the one my ankle. To me it is the equivalent of having someones name on me... think matching tattoos. It isn't even knowing that the ex has one that matches, it is that of the experience and meaning of why we got them and that is long gone.
So, this morning, I was listening to the radio and there was an ad for wrecking ball... I wonder does it work? Does it leave half the tattoo on your skin? Does it fade, so it looks like I got it when I was five and spent the last 28 years in the sun (everyday)? I can't even change it into something else without making it enormous.
On the other hand, as discussed with some friends, maybe I can change the meaning in my own mind and work off of that going forward. My last relationship was an exercise that made me stronger and wiser.... So, is it wrong to change the meaning from being a bonding experience to that of being a little wiser/stronger/better (I sound like Kayne). To be honest, it is a Chinese symbol, so it could mean Burger King for all I know. Thoughts and opinions?

In Today's Boston Weather.

Holy crap it is going to 90. Yes, love it.

I Finally Figured it Out

I thought the DB was starting to look familiar... Tonight, in a moment of clarity, I remembered.

Ray LaMonatgne

Is currently on SNL and I am in love... Downloading everything via iTunes now.

Dreams

I had a weird dream the other night... I had a daughter and we lived in Chicago. Her name started with a C or a K, can't really recall, but I do know, in my dream, that she had a lime green Lily Pulitzer comforter and brown hair. Very strange, but it is sticking with me. I hope this doesn't mean that my biological clock is starting to tick. Scary.

The funny comment about it was last night. I told CD of my dream last night at dinner (we went to Moo), and I was like how crazy is that? She had brown hair... Then he looked at my roots and said, well, that wouldn't be weird. I went and got a highlight this morning.

Oh... C'MON!

Seriously? What the hell were these two thinking. Hopefully, he shaved that beard thingy that he has been growing before the ceremony. I find him so foul... How long will it last? 2 days or 2 years?

Cocktails & Starfish

I think this is the dress. Love or hate? I am thinking slate color dress with some really bright shoes.

Song in My Head Today:

Someday she wants a big o' ring

With a big ol' rock that shines

And a big ol' walk-in closet

With shoes of every kind

Yeah, someday she wants a big ol' boat

She can lay around gettin' a tan

But right now all she wants is a man

With a big ol' heart

Who can love her like nobody can

Big ol' kisses that go on and on

And never end

With a big ol' smile

He'll fill her world with laughter

Size matters, size matters

Joe Nichols, Size Matters (Someday)

The Hills

Recap from NY Magazine. Hysterical.

Relationships

Lately, I have been thinking about relationships (whether they are friendships or of the romantic kind), and how I always deviate towards certain signs/months. First, I am Taurus (May 1). The majority of my friends are born March - May and August - September. Boyfriends, for the most part, are all June. Curious to know why. Is it all in the stars or is there something more?

Finally... Relief

I finally received word from my advisor that I am officially done as of April 29th. Let the festivities begin.

Shoe Shopping...

Made a pitstop in my favorite shoe store... Costablanca pumps and some Dolce Vita sandals.

Boston Sports Weekend

I love Boston pride, but I have some minor issues with it.

Girls: When you go to a Red Sox game, please don't act like it is the last time you will ever drink a draft beer ever again. There is no need for you to be drunk at a bar at ten and shoot dirty looks cause other girls are dressed to go out for the night. I am sorry, but we aren't looking at your drunk boyfriend wearing a man jersey. Loose the attitude.

Boston Marathon: Yes, if you are running it I RESPECT you. Shouldn't you be at your hotel resting for the big day? Instead, you are running around the city, drinking in our bars and holding up the line cause you can't possibly understand the idea that a bouncer may check your id cause they HAVE to. It is their job. Stop complaining cause you are over 40 and it isn't right. It is their job -- let them do it. Also, please recognize that you are in a city. It isn't ok for you to stand in the middle of a crosswalk and have a conversation about where to go next. We drive, and Boston drivers aren't like the rest of the world. They are overly aggresive and have no patience for people who dont know the rules of the streets. How many times has a cabby swore at you? It means you are doing something wrong.

Drunk people: Watching bball, hockey and/or baseball all day = a whole hell out of day drinking. Please stay off of Channel 7. It is a blackout memory for you, but it will replay for the rest of us to view for the next 48 hours.

With that all said: Go Sox, Go Bruins, Go Celts and Go Runners... I wish you the best of LUCK!

Transformations

I think I really want to darken my hair. I am feeling a little over the white blonde look and frankly, sick of always having roots. Maybe a golden blonde or light brown would be a fun change. I have been kind of digging Bar's and Blake's color choice for awhile... Not sure what to do. I think if I am going to go darker, then spring summer is the best time to do it. Thoughts?

Sugar Shack

Sometimes I think back when things were simple & fun. Paying $400 to live in a closet and living with the best girlies anyone could ask for as roomates. Living alone is great, but I do miss the easy days... Drinking beers before we go out, only to sit in a lounge similiar to our livingroom so we could all sit together. Living in Boston as one.... and now we are seperated all over... NYC. NJ, Boston and Austin. BUT when we are all together... no time has passed. Meeting in NYC for the bacherlotte party for of one of our SS girlies that took a plunge into marriage FIRST. This pic brings back all the happy memories we once had at 23 and 24 (although we are over 30). Miss you gals, terribly!

Bitchassness

I am putting a smile on my face and faking that you don't bother me cause as a wise friend once told me about people like you "f-ck me over once, shame on you; f-ck me over twice and shame on me." I am onto your game and see everything you are doing. You take my silence as sign of weakness, but get ready to see my strong side. I am over you and your bitchassness (look it up or ask pdiddy). I am done playing games with you. Oh and btw, everyone else sees through your bullshit too. You are obvious. I am feel sorry for you and your insecurities.

I think I am in love...

Happy Tax Day

Hopefully, Uncle Sam was kind.

I got an itty bitty refund from the Comm of Mass... I am debating replacing my camera that was stolen from my office -- thank god - I had no Paris like secrets on mine --or should I just get the iPhone (isn't a camera included?)? Help/Thoughts/Opinions??

Brain Dump Tuesday

I am secretly excited that Tori spelling is on 90210 tonight. Yes, I watch it... The acting is awful, but I just can't help myself. Can they please bring Val back now too?

I really enjoyed my class and got my term paper approved. Three's Company, All in the Family and Charlies Angels (any other good show ideas??) and how they influenced the culture and tv shows today... Go 70's. Although I am excited about leaving these studies behind, I will miss taking fun classes like Social History in the 20th Century. What I won't miss... calculus.

Has anyone seen the show Pretty Wicked? I think, finally, I am giving up on a reality show. Go me.

The funny of the day: LL's eHarmony ad. I do appreciate someone who can make fun of themselves.

Got a couple of fun things on tap for the rest of the week. Toro with EKS on Thursday, out with Kath on Friday and Lil Laur's bday party with Nmint on Saturday. AND the most exciting thing... I think it may remain above 50 degrees for more than 4 days straight.

Saks - Discount

Use: SFAFAM10 at checkout.

Candy please.

I want some gummies, now or laters, starbust (the new sour flavor) or sour patch kids... And I wonder why I can't drop any weight??

The Hills.. again.

I think I am a little Hills obsessed today.
Ok, first: I am not going to rag on Heidi, but why would anyone want Spencer in the first place. Like Stacey wouldn't know that they are a couple?
Seriously, what is wrong with Stephanie? Why would LC ever think her working there is a good idea? Don't get that one at all.
AND finally, every time I see Kelly from People's Revolution, I feel like I need to take a shower. She is so greasy... and she should start thinking of laying off the butts. Those teeth are in need of a bleaching session.

The Hills

Finally came back on last week. It is really one of my favorite things to watch on Monday nights. It is such a train wreck & predictable, but I love it still.

Last week, I was thinking how Heidi doesn't even look good anymore. I am not sure what is going on with her extensions or her face (she has a new habit of responding with a wide open mouth expression, which isn't flattering -- at all. She should stop that reaction pronto. She looks like a real life blow up doll). I used to think she was cute when she first came on, but I almost couldn't picture her anymore. So I googled her... I think she looked so much better before... even with that db next to her.

NY Mag is doing a weekly recap and it is pretty hysterical.

Cute Jellies for Spring/Summer.

Have you heard about this?

Update: Link isn't working... but I would keep on trying. BTW, I didn't see any steals... so beware the stuff is NOT cheap.
Gwyneth is selling her stuff on ebay. A little reminiscent of Tori, but this is for a good cause (Robin Hood Foundation). There are still some items left... Def, check it out.

Happiness...

is going outside for a quick minute to feel the warmth. Yes, it's finally 60 degrees and the sun is out. Hello, Spring Fever. Bye Bye, Super expensive heating bill.

Cocktails and Starfish: A Night at the Aquarium

I just bought my ticket for this event on May 2. I think I will use it to extend my bday post graduation celebration. I need to figure out what I am going to wear soon.

I can tell you a few things that I recall from last year: open bar & penguins = a good mix. They to tend over pour. We ended up at an after party at Kingston Station (things are blurry from the cab ride from Aquarium to the bar) and I must have given my phone number out cause I was getting a whole lot of random calls for the next few weeks.

These events are always a guaranteed good time. Good people & good cause. Remember prom, people? A little dressier (think current opposed to 80's). Although, I do love my gold lame.

Retail Therapy

I have been in the mood to make a purchase all week and keep talking myself out of it. I sometimes get this flutter or anxious feeling that I need to buy something. I don't think it is an addiction, I just want something... anything.

On my list:

Containers to organizer my closet... practical, right? (not really. Motive: Organize to fit more in).

Shoes - I will just stop there.

I want to buy a few new pairs of work pants. All black or charcoal. Theory.

2 dresses at Jcrew.

I REALLY REALLY want a Jumpsuit and a Romper.

And for some reason all day, I have puppies on the brain again. I saw two cute Frenchies on my way home from work last night and now I can't stop thinking about getting a puppy again... Maybe I should just bite the bullet and do it!

I thought I recognized you from somewhere

Crazy eyes I am onto you....
I am just catching up on Millionaire Matchmaker and Jimmy D (side note: he keeps referring to himself in 3 person - Ick) is on a date with a High Maintenance Blondie (Cara). I have been staring at her, thinking how do I know this girl.... I just realized she was the crazy chick from that show that the 3 guys let their moms pick their date (you know the one with the racist mother who had a son name JoJo??).
I don't get the desperation of these girls trying to get on every reality show... especially hunting for boys. Ick X 2!

Relationships

How do people stay in relationships for years and years? Is it true love or settling? I have a done a couple of four year stints, but it never works out. I have loved loved someone very much in my life, so I was willing to stay, try and work through any issues. To this day, I regret not staying longer. In the end, I usually do something to end it or I just get sick of the BS and finally walk away.


Today, I am back at the do I want to be in a relationship crossroads. So much work and for what? Am I with the right person? More work? More disagreements? On the flip side, I have fun and genuinely enjoy my experiences and life being a "couple"...when there is no drama or being spoke AT (not to) like I am five year old.


If there is any sign of trouble, I just get a pit in my stomach and wonder if it's a red flag and maybe I should just move on. Or do I sit and work on it more (i.e. wait 4 more years)? Does the good outweigh the bad? Most times, it does.


I think I am destined to be eternally single...

Rain King

When I am sad or upset, this songs makes me feel better... I needed it today and it worked.

When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God in the belly of a black-winged bird.
Dont try to feed me
Ive been here before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been crying, Ive been thinking
And I am the rain king
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
I cant go outsideIm scared I might not make it home
Im alive, Im alive but Im sinking in
If theres anyone at home at your place, darling
Why dont you invite me in? Dont try to bleed me
Cause Ive been there before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been lying, Ive been sinking
And I am the rain king
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again...
When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged birdI think of dying
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
Dont try to bleed me
Cause Ive been here before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
Shes been dying, Ive been drinking
And I am the rain king

Quote of the Day

If I am going to leave... I am going to leave twirling. Cecilia/ANTM.
